So I guess this is it, then.
The members have spoken,
the Southern Jets are getting a women's team!
(SCREAMS AND GASPS)
You're all right, you're all right.
Torn ACL.
I'm not here to take your job, Trav.
I promised you a flag, and I meant it.
Don't pretend there's not a vibe here.
My window is not open, and my light is not on.
You've got no proof of that.
Hence the reason for an investigation.
And we'll be looking into the situation with Samira Karimi.
She was a work experience girl.
So, what's your plan?
John's somehow gotten wind that I've been digging around.
He wants me to drop it.
Drop the investigation...
... or I'll tell the world about you and Connor.
I've got proof.
And I will use it.
This club needs me far more than it needs you,
so don't fuck with me, Kath.
I'm gonna castrate him.
We can't prove that he did it.
That arsehole stole your phone,
copied those text messages,
and leaked those photos of me,
all because you couldn't manage your phone properly!
You're not the only one affected by this.
Is your swimwear launch coming up?
Is your naked body sprawled across the internet?!
- I don't think so! - If this gets out,
I could lose the captaincy, OK? My career.
I know you both have a lot on the line,
but we need to figure out what we're going to do,
- together, and rationally. - Burn him.
I want that prick to pay, more than anyone.
But this is bigger than me.
You will lose the presidency.
They'll kick you off the board.
What if we give Liam what he wants?
Uh, we'd have to drop the investigation into his behaviour.
That's his end game?
We just need to move quickly on this.
If what we did gets out before we release a statement,
then we lose control of the story.
If he doesn't leak it...
... we'll be frying ourselves for no reason.
Are you willing to risk that?
I'm willing to wait and see what happens.
So am I.
Fine, OK.
Just keep it quiet.
Only tell who absolutely needs to know,
otherwise, keep it under wraps.
But if I catch even a whiff...
... of him leaking this?
I will release that statement.
Agreed.

(CHUCKLES)
(CHILDREN PLAYING, LAUGHING)
(PHONE RINGING)
Stay where I can see you, please!
Are you tranquil? Calm? In a meditative state?
You know how much I love you.
Yes.
But I am open to it being broken down in graphic detail.
(CHUCKLES) Right, you're intelligent...
... sexy...
... thoughtful...
I really am all of those things.
You just prepare yourself, because after this,
I am pulling out all the stops for your gift.
Well, I am just happy that you're happy.
All right, I'd better go.
Mitch has... gone rogue.
Bye, bye, bye, BYE!
MITCHEL!
Get back here!
I'm so sorry.
And I agree.
He shouldn't get away with this.
If this does come out,
there's gonna be a lot of questions about our marriage.
Of course.
I don't wanna put any pressure on you, but I think it would be...
... good to be clear on where we stand.
Publicly.
We do what we've always done, Kath.
We show a united front.
Best for all involved.
Thanks.
Anything else? I've gotta get to training.
No, that's it.
Blackmail?
What's he got on you?
I had a brief...
... sexual relationship with someone in the club,
and Liam claims that he has proof.
Who?
Connor Marrello.
- Oh, you're fucking kidding me. - No.
I made a mistake.
And I own it.
But in terms of managing the situation,
I think it's worthy to note that I wasn't president at the time.
Oh, like that matters.
- We're rebuilding our reputation, here... - I hear what you're saying, John,
but we have a bigger issue at hand.
Bigger than the president sleeping with the captain?
Liam is blackmailing our football club,
- he's out of control. - Oh, come on, Kath.
Drugs? Setting up a younger player to take the fall?
Releasing explicit photographs without consent...
He slept with a 17-year-old on work experience!
You cannot deny that there is a bigger problem, here.
This is all speculation at this point.
Why did he leave Perth?
I told you, he was homesick.
Why didn't they offer him more money?
More travel in his contract?
I'm sorry, we need to... we need to shut this down,
we need to demonstrate that this kind of behaviour
will not be tolerated.
If your behaviour comes out, your position will be untenable.
- And Liam's? - We can't afford any more scandal right now.
Right, so you're saying we should just roll over?
Shut down the investigation and lift the suspension.
Not going to happen.
You've brought this club into disrepute.
Now you make this go away,
or you will face a vote of no confidence.
(TELEVISION CHATTER)
OK, I'm gonna need a timeline, here.
How long is this self-flagellation gonna go on for?
Well, I'm in quarantine, so
as long as it takes until I'm reformed.
OK.
You did a shit thing,
- but you're not a shit person. - (GROANS) I'm a wrecking ball of lives.
Should never have left London.
You are right to punish yourself.
You did hurt two innocent people with your wayward vagina.
But this?
This...
... is gonna have to stop at some point.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, see, I don't believe that for a second!
Well, you're in quarantine, so you don't get to ask questions!
(JESSIE GROANS)
- How you feeling? - Great.
I mean, my six-month-old could do this.
I've seen a lot of people with your injury, Jessie.
(SCOFFS) Right, right, here comes the positive reinforcement.
OK, have a seat.
What you're going through...
... it's not easy.
You just have to take it one step at a time.
Yeah, that's literally all I can do.
And we're right at the start of this.
- It'll get better. - Will it!?
I don't see how!
I can't bend my knee.
I can't kick a football.
- I'm never gonna get to play footy. - You don't know that.
Just stop, OK, just stop!
Look, I can see how much this means to you, OK,
and I'm not gonna lie, the odds are definitely against us.
So no promises, no bullshit, but if you're up for it,
I'll work my arse off with you.
See if we can get you back out on the field.
OK?
- I'll shut up and do my job now... - No, no, no, no, no.
I want that.
- OK. - OK.
Sorry I'm late, conference call ran over.
Hang on, I'll just, hang on...
(PAPER CRINKLES)
(LAUGHS)
Trav and I are doing one nice thing for each other a day,
just to make sure the other one knows that we're thinking of them.
Aw!
Cute, I know.
- What's going on here? - Nothing.
Spill!
During my session, I... I had a little...
... wave of excitement.
- Sexually? - No.
Oh my God, are you attracted to your physio?
No, no! This is not about him, OK?
I had a brief moment of optimism.
About my leg and the future.
Oh, well, that is very good news.
But a little bit of sexual tension is nothing to worry about.
There's no sexual tension, all right?
He's a professional.
He's very good at his job.
- Apparently so. - Ugh.
You should see if he does house calls.
- I mean, that would be top-tier customer service... - OK, we're never talking about this again!
Just drive.
(MEN YELLING)
Good work! Feed it backwards to me.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Get up.
Careful, Brian.
Tell your wife I've got Connor's text messages.
- You'll read about it... - The fuck did you say?
(MEN YELLING)
TRAV: Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Break it up!
Come on, mate.
What's wrong with you, mate?
Hey?
Won't happen again.
- TRAVIS: Brian?! What? - LIAM: Trav!
Let's get in.
Yeah, Kath?
Yeah, I'm all right.
I fucked up.
- Hey. - Hello.
What's going on?
Uh, well...
... uh, Shane and I have been talking,
and we've decided to take our relationship public.
Yeah, guess who's coming to the game tomorrow.
Oh! Are you serious?
Guys! That's so great!
- Wow! - So, uh, what's the plan?
Pre-drinks? Pre-pre-drinks?
- We can just start drinking now, if you'd like... - Hey, hey, hey.
The ladies have got you covered, I'm sure. Just...
relax.
All right?
(DRIVING PUNK MUSIC PLAYING)
(PHONE RINGING, MUSIC STOPS)
Oh, fuck.
Speak.
I need your help.
- Is this help baby-related? - No.
OK, what do you need?
OK, Rusty and Shane have decided
to go public tomorrow at the president's lunch.
- Tomorrow? - Mm!
And I promised to take him under my wing,
make his first experience memorable.
Well, you're not gonna have a problem there.
Tahls, I'm not the person for this job.
He asked what he should wear, and I said,
"Anything in your cupboard, really."
OK, well, that's not a good idea.
Plus, with the women's team launching,
I'll be busy, mingling, schmoozing,
trying to make sure I don't screw up my speech.
Can't they do this next weekend?
OK, I know it's really last minute, but pre-drinks at your house
would be the ultimate first game experience.
It doesn't have to be fancy, it could just be, like, a few drinks...
- ... some store-bought nibbles? - OK, I'll do it.
But never use the term "store-bought nibbles" again.
Be at mine tomorrow at 10am and I'll do the rest.
Thank you so much, you are an absolute godsend.
And send me Shane's colour palette.
We're not gonna half-arse this shit.
I'm gonna need you to vacate this area by 8am tomorrow, OK?
- What?! - It's Shane's first game,
and I'm gonna host the shit out of it.
I'd invite you, but...
Well, uh, did the ladies approve this?
It's just, um, you don't exactly have the best track record
- when it comes to new partners. - (PHONE RINGING)
Uh, could you sage this space?
I don't want an overhang of your mopey ju-ju...
Kath, what's the update?
Should I be concerned, here?
(SCREAMS) Fuck!
(DOOR SLAMS)
OK.
MADDY: Connor and Kath?!
TRAV: Brian asked me to keep it quiet.
- Did you have any idea? - Nope.
- What, did Kath ever say anything... ? - No!
Never, nothing!
Though some of her pep talks are starting to make sense, now.
Explains why Brian was so keen to step away.
How did we miss it?
We were with them all season.
There was a lot going on.
Exactly, I mean, when did they have the time?
Maybe that was the problem.
Poor Tahlia.
God, what a mess.
And if Kath gets ousted...
We'll be OK.
Unless you've got some sort of...
... secret family that I don't know about?
Oh! Shit, yeah, that reminds me, I have to call my other wife.
Wh... don't!
Mm?
FEMALE REPORTER: Ahead of tomorrow's clash
between the Southern Jets and the Bears,
the Southern Jets have announced their line-up.
And with Brian Rickards as the team's mentor,
fans are hopeful there's a win somewhere on the horizon.
The squad's full of their regular heavy-hitters,
Connor Marrello, Rusty O'Reilly,
who has consistently delivered this season,
second year stand-out, Daniel Fletcher is on the field again,
finding his form back from injury.
Which is perfect timing, because in a controversial move,
star recruit Liam Flynn is out,
due to general soreness.
The decision to rest Flynn couldn't come at a worse time,
with the Southern Jets on a six-game losing streak.
But, who knows, with Brian Rickards back on deck,
they could have a few tricks up their sleeve.
The Eastern Dragons...
Hi, you've reached Kath.
I can't get to the phone right now,
but if you'd like to leave a message...
LIAM: Stupid bitch.
Game on, Kath.
(DOOR OPENING)
- TAHLIA: Hello, welcome! - SHANE: Very sparkly!
Come in, come in.
(GASPS) Tahlia!
- Oh my gosh, this is incredible! - I know.
- How you feeling, Shane? - Yeah, I'm good.
- I'm excited, I'm terrified. - There you go.
Oh, I remember my first game.
Oh, mate. You were a whirlwind of sequins and sass,
it scared the hell out of me. You still do!
That's... beautiful.
All right, people.
You know what time it is?
It's mimosa time! Yeah?
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Don't do it.
- (DOOR OPENING) - Hi!
Oh, hello! Come in!
We're making mimosas!
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
Right on time!
Be rude not to.
Oh! She's out of the cave!
Sure you wanna risk it?
MADDY: Risk what?
- She's in quarantine. - From men.
Ah, nah, can't afford anymore casualties.
OK, team, under no circumstances am I to leave this house.
Oh, well, thanks for coming downstairs.
Oh, and, whatever happens today,
don't take it personally.
Tahlia likes to initiate all of the new partners.
It's part of her... process.
Now that we're all here...
- To Shane. - To Shane.
You make Rusty very happy.
It is an honour to share your first game with you.
And because it is such a special day...
- ... I've made a few calls. - Yeah, here we go.
I thought it might be a good idea to step your outfit up a notch.
Two sizes too small, am I right?
SHANE: Oh, my God.
Size 38, am I right?
- Are you kidding me?! - (PHONE RINGING)
Oh, that's... that's Russ. Two... two secs.
- Another bottle? - KATH: Yes, please!
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm...
... living my best life.
Have you spoken to Kath? I've been trying her all morning.
Travis told me.
No, I haven't.
She hasn't responded to my messages, or calls, either.
Should we be worried?
No. It's Kath.
(MESSAGE ALERT BEEPS)
_
Shane, you all right?
Yeah, good, fine.
Yeah, that's code for no.
So, um...
... turns out that today won't just be our first, uh, event together.
It'll also be Rusty's first game as... captain.
Oh my God!
- That's incredible! - Wait, hang on. What happened to Connor?
Is everything all right?
Uh...
... I'm gonna rip this off quickly,
like a Band-Aid, so keep up.
There is an article that may be released today
that exposes an affair that happened between
- Connor Marrello and Kath Rickards. - (GASPS)
Connor told me on our wedding day, Kath and I are fine,
- end of conversation. - Holy shit!
- Are you OK? - Oh, Tahlia, I am so sorry!
Captain's partner.
Now, there are a lot of options, here, so be ready to strut.
Today is the only day that I give you permission to upstage me.
So enjoy it.
The bathroom is down the hall and to the right.
Tahls?
Are you...
Phones on silent, crank up the music, and focus on Shane.
I will not have another important day rear-ended
by this incestuous clusterfuck.
Tahls?
Make sure that that man looks nothing short of spectacular.
Tell the girls I'll see them at the game.
- You're gonna blow something up, aren't you? - If you'll excuse me.
Ella, sweetheart, it's Mum.
A statement is coming out today...
... something I did last year.
A mistake.
I'm really sorry for letting you down, sweetheart.
I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
Bye, baby.

MALE REPORTER: Southern Jets president Kath Rickards
finds herself mired in controversy this morning.
MALE REPORTER 2: Yes, the married mother of two
released a statement admitting she had an affair
with captain Connor Marrello before being named club president.
Connor, were you forced to step down as captain?
I do what's best for the team.
Is that why you slept with the coach's wife?
Excuse us, guys.
Got a game to get to.
(CLAMOUR CONTINUES)
MALE REPORTER 2: Rickards has asked for privacy at this time.
Husband and Southern Jets ex-coach and current mentor,
Brian Rickards, is yet to comment.
(CLAMOUR CONTINUES)
You boys all good?
(ALL AGREEING)
(CLAMOUR CONTINUES)
Just get your head in the game.
REPORTER: Any comment, Travis... ?
All right. Let's get to it.
(REPORTERS CLAMOURING)
What are your chances of losing the presidency?
MAN: Is this the reason Marrello and Woods split?
- (CAR HORN HONKING) - How is Brian taking it?
Hey! Get in!
Tahlia!
- REPORTERS: Tahlia! Tahlia! - (CLAMOUR CONTINUES)
Tahlia, would you like to make a comment?
Now, I know I wanted you to blow up, but this is ridiculous.
So, uh...
... what are you doing here?
You think I was gonna sit back and let you dominate the headlines?
Please. You're not doing this one solo.
(HORN HONKING)
Wait up!
Ah-ah, is this the point where I'm meant to stop you
- from leaving the premises? - Are you coming?
Yes, OK, but purely as Tahlia's bomb squad.
Guys, she is gonna blow.
And I have a responsibility to her, and to...
... everyone in her immediate surroundings.
So, yeah, I'm coming.
(LAUGHING)
ANNOUNCER: Well, it's been a big day already for the Southern Jets.
Let's hope they can put those headlines behind them
and focus on the game.
ANNOUNCER 2: The Bears have been in good form lately,
so they certainly won't be going easy on them.
And, if the Jets have any intention of making the finals this year,
they'll need to turn it around sooner rather than later.
Don't get stuck with anyone on the board,
- they'll chew your ear off. - Right.
Oh, if you walk with purpose,
people assume that you're going to the toilet,
which eliminates any impromptu conversation.
- OK. - Don't talk during the game,
'cause it's surprising how many people actually wanna watch it.
- Hm. - Yeah.
Oh, and the, uh, the food slows down
once the game begins, but the drinks don't.
So stock up, unless you wanna be crawling out of bed tomorrow morning.
Right.
Glad you changed your mind.
You know this world like the back of your hand.
Well...
... when you're on the outside looking in, it's...
I don't know.
From where I'm standing, you're very much on the inside.
Hm.
Those for you?
No!
Travis wouldn't send two bunches in a week.
You are looking for him, aren't you?
Who?
- Aaron? No. - Oh!
Mr Physio's got a name.
Yeah, he has for a while, now, he was given it at birth.
OK. I...
... had a dream about him.
- A sex dream? - (SCOFFS)
- I don't wanna talk about it. - Oh my God.
The physio table, his hands, a knee... brace?
It's weird, but it's kind of kinky.
- Look, Aaron has been incredibly supportive. - Uh-huh.
- He knows what I'm going through. - Oh, yes.
- It's purely professional. - Uh-huh, yes,
no, you keep telling yourself that.
Hey?
Has anyone heard from Tahlia?
'Cause I'm gettin' worried.
Um...
(DRIVING MUSIC PLAYING)
(INAUDIBLE MURMURING)
This should be fun.
- You left the house. - Yeah,
I'll be gone by the time the game's over,
I just, I wanted to make sure you were OK.
I'm not gonna lie, I thought you were gonna rock up
with a baseball bat, go full lemonade on this lunch.
You have no idea.
This speech is four lines long.
Yeah.
Short and succinct.
Best we keep it to a minimum.
Best I don't speak at all, perhaps.
Well, that might spark more controversy if you don't.
I've also asked John to take over the launch of the women's team.
- (PHONE CHIMING) - Jessie fought tooth and nail for that team.
You don't even want a women's side, from memory. Isn't that right, John?
Yeah.
Didn't want a scandal, either.
But here we are.
Intimate text messages.
What the hell is she doing here?
Excuse me, gentlemen.
He's a fuckin' arsehole.
OK, let's just rein in the volume, please.
That's next level crazy shit!
JESSIE: Mm-hm, and suddenly, Kendall's here?
Interesting timing.
- You think it's strategic? - Abso-fucking-lutely!
Bomb squad, bomb squad!
I am totally feeling the throw-down vibes,
but I reckon we just keep this one contained, yeah?
KATH: Yeah, I think the last thing the board needs
is to think that we're targeting Liam.
I'm sorry, but I think that Kendall needs to know
- who she's dealing with. - OK,
seeing as I am the only one with an iota
of a relationship with Kendall,
I think that I should be the one to talk to her
and find out what has been happening.
- Alone. - JESSIE: I'm cool with that.
Same.
Fine.
Just keep it light, keep it... conversational.
I've gotta go.
OK, I'm going in.
Just give her a sec, she's warming into it.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
This is gonna take forever.
She just pulled the pin, didn't she?
Yeah, that grenade's well and truly airborne.
Well, this is a surprise.
OK, your presence isn't really necessary.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time that you and I have ever spoken.
- LIAM: Tahlia. - Kendall.
You look well.
What are you gettin' at?
Nothing, I'm just, I'm surprised to see you here, that's all.
Well, I'm just supporting my partner.
Well, according to Liam...
- ... you guys have broken up. - What?
- Yeah, well, we didn't. - OK, well, you've got your answer.
Mm, well, he's certainly acting like it.
- (CHUCKLES) Oh, right. - Liam told me about you.
About how you've been hitting on him.
- While I've been in rehab? - (TAHLIA SCOFFS)
- Did he, now? - Yeah, it's pretty low, babe.
Even for you.
You know...
... you say that hitting on the new recruits
is just a big game for you, but...
... everybody knows you're just desperate.
(CHOKED LAUGHTER)
You're a sociopath.
I suggest you...
... you get the fuck...
- ... out of his face. - OK, that is enough. That's enough.
- Turn around. Turn around, walk away. - (GLASS CLINKING)
OK, I'd like to thank you all for being here today.
You're gonna cop shit out there, no doubt about it.
Use it, relish it.
Or block it the fuck out!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
The only thing that matters is what happens on that field.
The rest is just noise.
A distraction.
A cheap tactic to throw you off your game!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Strength is in the mind, boys.
Focus on your role.
Your team...
... your win!
(CHEERING)
Now get out there, and give them somethin' else to talk about!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Looks pretty different from up here, eh?
(DISTANT CHEERS)
Can't believe I get to share this with him.
(CROWD CHEERING)
(FOGHORN BUZZING)
(CROWD CHEERING)
ANNOUNCER: A cracking victory for the Southern Jets,
O'Reilly dominates as captain, Marrello back in fine form.
They have really put that scandal behind them.
ANNOUNCER: No doubt about that, JB, and with Daniel Fletcher
playing out of his skin, there's a lot to celebrate
in the Southern Jets camp tonight.
(INAUDIBLE CONVERSATIONS)
JESSIE: Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
Maddy Cochrane.
Oh, I just, I told the bar to just keep them coming.
Oh! A man after my own heart.
Ooh, you got the good stuff.
Yeah, you know, feeling a little bit, uh... fancy.
(LAUGHS)
Why are you still here?
I'll be gone by the time the boys are up.
Uh, can you teleport?
(APPLAUSE)
Sweet Beetlejuice, get me out of here.
♪ We are the team of the mighty Southern Jets ♪
♪ We are the flag give as good as we get... ♪
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES, MUFFLED CONVERSATIONS)
♪ Mighty Southern Jets to glory and fame! ♪
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
(GASPS AND CHEERS)
Oh, my heart!
You were really in your element out there.
You know, I mean, the boys really pulled it together, so...
Yeah, uh, because of you.
- JESSIE: Yeah. - Team effort.
JOHN: Excuse me.
Excuse me?
Thank you, for all being here,
and for your continued support this season.
What a win!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Never one to miss an opportunity.
Grabs it with both hands.
And if we haven't already given you enough to celebrate tonight,
there's more.
I'm proud to officially announce
the Southern Jets finally have their women's team!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Hey, shouldn't you be up there doing that?
You saw the jumpers here first, folks.
Thank you, ladies.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
I, for one, cannot be more proud of this achievement.
The Southern Jets are forging a new path in footy culture.
And with our very own Rusty O'Reilly,
the first openly gay player as today's captain!
Well, that didn't take him long.
And, now, with the launch of our women's team,
it is certainly a great day to be a Southern Jet.
Thank you.
How does he sleep at night?
With great ease, I'm sure.
Not over, yet.
Ladies and gentlemen, John Minindi.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
What a guy.
And a huge supporter of women.
How kind of you to take the burden of today's speech
off of Jessie Davies.
- BRIAN: You know about this? - No.
Now, I have had a bit of a rough run in the media, recently. It's...
it's been a whirlwind of scandal and nudity.
But...
... with the help of the Southern Jets,
I can now announce that we've found the man responsible
of leaking very intimate and private photos.
- Is she for real? - I have no idea.
I would like to publicly thank the board for heading up
this investigation into the perpetrator of this crime.
Now, I, too, share your pride, as a Southern Jet, John.
And I am so grateful
for the way that you've handled this violating situation.
And I intend to be incredibly vocal in singing your praises.
I look forward to the announcement of your findings.
I know I'm itching to tell.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
This is your work, I suppose?
Nope.
Certainly wish it was, though.
(CHUCKLES)
This vote of no confidence can't come soon enough.
You're destroying this club.
Still, there's no way of avoiding investigation now, is there?
First one in a while, I was expecting fireworks, caviar...
... adoring fans.
Well, there's still time.
Smart move, before.
I wasn't sure what you were gonna do.
Stepping down as captain...
... big call.
Wouldn't be fair if I didn't lose something.
You lost me.
It's punishment enough.
Just as we were rebuilding.
I'm so sorry.
You did the right thing.
Besides...
... if today hadn't happened...
... I doubt we would've ever gone through with it.
Got a bit swept up in it all, didn't we?
Guess those boxes can't sit there forever.
It's one hell of a goodbye, though.
(CHUCKLES)
Sure was.
All right.
Time to head home and relieve the babysitter.
Oh, are you still waiting on that gift?
I know that it is stupid and selfish and ridiculous,
but I was really looking forward to it.
- Attractive male incoming. - What?
- Jessie. - Hi!
- How are you? - I'm good, well, fine. Thank you.
That's good.
Oh, sorry, shit. Um, this is my friend, Maddy Cochrane.
Maddy, Aaron, Aaron, Maddy.
Aaron, it is lovely to meet you.
- Oh, what soft hands you have. - Uh...
OK, let him go.
I've heard such good things about you.
Great things, in fact.
Well, likewise, from Travis.
Ah, yeah.
How's the leg feeling?
Good, it's good, I'm... basically running.
Please, don't.
I've gotta go. Um...
- it was lovely to finally meet you, Maddy. - You too, Aaron.
See ya next session?
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
In a sadistic, pain-loving sort of way.
Uh... OK.
- Do I have to stop seeing him? - No!
I would just give the engine a quick service
before taking her in.
Eh, um, do you, do you know where Paige went?
Yeah, she left right after the game.
- She was in fine form. - With Brody?
No, they broke up.
Excuse me.
Mitchell loves Jenga, I mean, he didn't even ask for the iPad once.
And I know Abby doesn't normally eat carrots,
but I cut them into little batons, you know, kind of like French fries,
- and she was all about them. - Ah, well, thank you, Lucy.
Thanks.
So, how's Trav?
Uh, he's good, yeah, thanks.
- OK, no worries, see you next week. - All right, thanks, Lucy!
(SIGHS)
OK, I apologise.
I get that the club is your domain and I am,
I'm, I'm trying to respect that, I, pff, I...
- ... I blame Shane and Tahlia... - Why didn't you tell me
that you and Brody broke up?
Um, 'cause I didn't think it was any of your business?
What, and telling me off for all that stuff
that's got nothing to do with you is yours?
- I... Dan... - No, Paige, you, you've been sending me such...
... mixed messages since you got back.
We sleep together, you call me a mistake?!
You don't apologise, and then you just rock up at the club function?
Like, do you have any idea how disrespectful that might be?
OK, yeah, OK, firstly, I wasn't planning on coming today,
I swear, I was in quarantine, I wasn't even
meant to leave the house.
And then the whole Kath and Connor thing came out,
and Tahlia was...
... unnervingly calm.
And secondly, I never said that you were a mistake.
I...
... I, I meant hooking up was the mistake.
I can't do this anymore.
What?
I can't have you in my life.
It's... it's too hard.
You don't mean that.
You don't treat people that you care about like this, Paige.
- (MADDY GASPS) - Hey.
What are you doing here?
I did the appropriate amount of rounds of talking,
and obliterated coach's duties in record time...
... to come home to you.
Oh, thank you.
Today has been...
... today has been an absolute shit-fight
and I didn't have time to find, slash order,
slash even have a moment to think about a present, but I...
You being here is my present.
It's not much of a present.
It's beautiful.
I love it.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
I was prepared to be voted off, but, so soon?
That's not why I called you in.
John has not been entirely up front in regards to Liam.
In what way?
Come on, Bob, you've called me here for a reason.
I think we both know a vote of no confidence
is not gonna go my way, but you do know that I can still help.
Why did Liam leave Perth?
Sexually explicit videos were sent around.
Of Kendall.
Does she know about this?
John says they were sent from her account.
In all your years of experience, Bob,
have you ever heard of a star player being offloaded
because of something their girlfriend did?
You don't need to support me publicly.
But I need you to push back that vote of no confidence.
Just give me 24 hours.
And I need you to keep that investigation into Liam's behaviour alive
just for as long as possible.
What are you going to do?
I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Kendall might be the key to getting the evidence
that we need to nail Liam, but it's also possible
that she knows nothing about any of this.
Well, shouldn't she?
I mean, there's always women going around
saying they've fucked footballers,
but it doesn't really mean anything, does it?
So he's told you about Samira?
So I saw Minindi this morning.
Reckons he's got the numbers for a vote of no confidence tomorrow.
I'm gonna face a firing squad, aren't I?
You just give 'em hell on the way out.
What's she doin' here?
Oh, she, I don't know, she just wanted to talk to you.
Yeah, Liam, look, I know we've had our differences,
but I'd really like your help.
I wasn't sure if you could see me, I was the bloke...
... over there waving, like a bit of a knob.
Fuck you, man.
Get out.
No worries.
